Posted on: 01/13/2017

Rebecca Holcombe, instructor and former director of the Dartmouth Teacher Education Program, and current secretary of education for the State of Vermont, is the recipient of the 2017 Ongoing Commitment Social Justice Award. She was honored at the Conversations with Changemakers event on Thursday, January 26, in Filene Auditorium (see http://www.dartmouth.edu/~mlk/awards/ for details).

Diversity and inclusivity are necessary partners. Without inclusivity, the benefits of diversity— an increase in understanding, improvement in performance, enhanced innovation, and heightened levels of satisfaction—will not be realized. We commit to investments in both, to create a community in which difference is valued, where each individual's identity and contributions are treated with respect, and where differences lead to a strengthened identity for all.
